Reward(s)

The last of the Sub-Guardian bosses, Samus fights the Power Bomb Guardian in the Undertemple of the Dark Torvus Bog. Ing possession has enabled the Sporb to fire Power Bombs rather than needles, and it is also impervious to Samus's weapons. The only way Samus can destroy the creature is by crushing it with the bridge that is suspended above the Darkling; to do this, Samus must ride Spider Ball Tracks around the room and lay Bombs in the four Bomb Slots holding the bridge clamps in place. It is advised to save the most easily accessible bomb slots for last. The Guardian will attempt to disengage Samus from the tracks by throwing multiple Power Bombs in her direction. The Guardian possesses some level of intelligence, as it seems to predict Samus' movements and target areas in front of Samus, rather than where she is. Many Inglets also defend the creature from the ground.

Once all four bomb slots are activated, the ceiling locks disengage, and the bridge crushes the Power Bomb Guardian to a pulp. A new track opens up, allowing Samus to reach the ceiling area and reclaim her Power Bombs.

This darklingSporb has absorbed the ability to generate Power Bombs. It can fire these dangerous weapons instead of the venomous needles it normally shoots. The energies of the Power Bomb weapon have made it all but invulnerable. Tremendous kinetic damage will override the protective field, however.
